A Business-lilse Offer.

For many years the manufacturers Of DR..
Sayc's Catarrh Remedy have offered, in
good faith, $500 reward for u case of Nasal
Catarrh which they can not cure. The
Remedy Is sold by druggists Mt only 80 cents.
THIS wonderful remedy has fairly attaincd
q worldwide reputation. il you have dull,
heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal
passages. discharges falling from tho head
into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery,
nnd acrid, mt others, thick, tenacious, mu-
cous, purulcnt, bloody and putrid; II the
eyes arc weak, watcry ard iniiamcd; IL
there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hack
ing or coughing to clear tho throat, expcc-
toration of offensive matter, together with
scabs from ulcers; tho voice being changed
and has nasal twang; the breath offensive,
smell and taste impaired; sensation OF dizzi-
ness, with mental depression, hacking
cough and general debility, you arc suffer
ing from nasal catarrh. The more compli-
Gated your disease, the greater tho number
and diversity Of symptoms. Thousands OF
eases annually, without manifcsting half OF
the above symptoms, result in consumption,
and end in the grave. No disease Is so COM
mon, more deceptive and dangerous, or less
understood, or more unsucccssfully treated
by physicians.

Worth Remembering.

A convenient method for rendering
ordinary drawing-papcr transparent
for the purpose of making tracings'
and of removing its transparency so rs
To restore its former appearance when
the drawing is completed, has been in-
vented by NJ. Puscher. 1t consists in
dissolving a given quantity OF castor
oil in ono. two or three volumes OF alb
solute alcohol, according to the thick
ness of the paper, and applying it by
means of a sponge. The alcohoi
eyaporatcs in few minutes. ana the
tracing-paper is dry and ready for im-
mediate use. The drawing or tracing
can DO made with lead pencil or India
ink, and the oil removed from the pa
Ger by immersing it in absolute alco'
hol. thus restoring its original opacity.
The alcohol employed in removing tho
first oil is. Of course, reserved for
iiiuting the oil used in preparing tho
ucxt sheet. Botson Budget

Strength of Heated Metals.

Some interesting experiments on the
effects OF heating on the strength and
ductility of metals used for machines
and structures were recently made ut
the Royal doclsyard, Portsmouth.

ular. but not serious. decrease OF
strength and ductility up TO q certain
point-which is between three and
four hundred degrees for ordinary gun
metals-beyont which the strength
suddenly drops to about one.half, and
the duc;ility vanishos. Phosphor-
bronze preserves two-thirds Of its
strength and one-third of its ductility
up 10 five hundred degrees Fahrenheit;
and Munlz metal and pure copper are
also fairly satisfactory in these re-
spects. Wrought iron gains in
strength up to five hundred degrees;
but loses in ductility up to three hun
dred degrees. after which it gains.
Open-hearth steel is not affected in
strength by Il temperature of five hun
dred degrees, but its ductility is re-
duccd onc-half. -ArkanSd 1rareIer.

The EuturIty stakes.

The immense entry made to the Futurity
Stakes to be run at sheepshead Bay in 1889
by the two-year-olds, and to which the
Coney Island Jockey Club adds $4,000,
warrant the officers and executive commit
tee Of the club to claim that 1t will be the
richest stake ever run, probably sG5,00O.
The Futurity opened last year to be run In
1889, received an entry of 1852 mares, Of
which only l75 proved void under the con-
ditions "that II mare entered in this stake
drops her foal before the LIST OF January, or
II she has dead or more than one foal, or
is barren the entry of such mare Is vod.'
The entry for the Futurity of 1889, which
closed on January l, now numbers SD, with
q chance Of a few coming from England,
and as the subscription for folls up to the
time of starting is 500 for 1889 instead of
$50 as for 1855, Mr.. Lawrence claims, with
show OF justice, that the Futurity OF 1850
will be the most valuable stake ever run for
In the entries, from an interstate point Of
view, the honors are fairly divided, espe-
cially as between California, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. Some OF the entries are
very large, Mr.. j. B. IIaggln Of California
entering no less than iifty-four mares; Mr..
August Belmont has thirty-nine by St.

This is the one fact in day of rumors

afternoon that he knew of no negotia-
tions with the Richmond Terminal.
The price Of Richmond Terminal
common stock rose Il yesterday, and

identified with the company own the
Georgia Central Railroad, which en-.
braces 1875 miles Of road. If the East

should be added TO this there would be
one grand system of 1879 miles of road,

the Potomac to the Mississippi. In.
